The Dean’s Lecture Series is a special program selected by the Dean of the Truckee-Tahoe campus of Sierra College to celebrate lifelong learning. Dean Kimberly Bateman selected Experts & Insights as the Dean’s Lecture Series for 2009/10 to showcase local academic talent and to thank the community for their support of the new Truckee campus.
“What better way to thank the community than to share the excitement of learning something new? Our region hosts a wealth of active and retired professors who are incredibly knowledgeable and excel in communicating their passion for study and discovery.”
Experts & Insights offers an opportunity for intellectual exchange across a range of scholarly subjects and issues. Each month, a different professor will present a fascinating look at his or her research-based study using a variety of teaching methods including lecture, discussion, character enactment, slides, music and other state of the art technology.
This program is offered to the community at no charge, thanks to the generosity of Sierra College and the Experts & Insights faculty.
Faculty
Experts & Insights faculty are professors, professors emeritus, and highly experienced professionals whose subject expertise is academic in nature. Preference in faculty selection will be for those who live or have considerable experience in the Truckee/North Tahoe region. All faculty volunteer their time and expertise and are greatly appreciated. If you would like to be considered for an Experts & Insights presentation, please contact: DeansLectureSeries@sierracollege.edu.
